oh, i really think we'll be doing this for ourselves this summer...very cool! and i bet that gift was a hit with the folks, too! great idea!enjoy your coffee in the morning from your "new" chair! love finding things of meaning like that-so serendipitous!

1. I got most of my field guide information from the World Wildlife Federation site as well as from the Wild Birds Unlimited site. I also googled butterfly anatomy chart and leaf identification guides.

2. The flower press is just layers of cardboard (I think I used 5 or 6 little rectangles) with several sheets of of clean newsprint in between. We fastened it all together with several rubber bands. You can also press flowers in waxed paper and an old phone book!

great idea! i recently took my 2 and 4 others (their mama came) to a children's zoo--fort wayne, in

each child had their own disposable camera to get shots of their pre-selected animal(we're doing animal projects)we have journals/scrapbooks that are ready to be filled...always looking for more creativity, and i am thrilled to have found your blog--thanks for commenting on mine :)
